"This is the only Classic Collection Club of the Virgin Active organisation in Kwa-Zulu Natal"
"1 star from a "classic" member who has been paying the premium for the last 9 years for the exclusivity of this "classic" gym"
"Out of ALL the collection clubs, this is the WORST of them all"
"This virgin active does NOT deserve to be called a collection club"
"The facilities were top-notch, with a wide variety of equipment and plenty of space to work out"
This is the only Classic Collection Club of the Virgin Active organisation in Kwa-Zulu Natal. Situated in the sports hub of Durban, the Club neighbours Moses Mabhida Stadium, Hollywood Bets Kings Park Stadium as well as the athletics stadium and the regular Virgin Active. I explored the Club during what would be considered “peak” time at gym: 17:00/17:30. Without staring too much, I couldn’t count more than 45 people working out at that time. Believe me, you won’t have to wait for machines or equipment at this gym; you’ll never be kicked out of a class because you forgot to book or that’s it’s too full. This Club does not get full. There’s adequate equipment on the gym floor although the absence of items like a hack-squat, dedicated glute machine or a dedicated deadlifting area is a tad disappointing. Floor finishes are great, with laminated wood or vinyl throughout and high quality tiles in the wet areas. There’s also adequate provision for people with disabilities. The relaxation and spa area is slightly different in this Club: there’s a massive bath-spa (or hot tub) as well as a steam-room and sauna… which are all unisex. While KZN might be a relatively conservative area, this Club pushes boundaries by consolidating the male and female relaxation areas. This Club pushes the “lifestyle” narrative in that you can workout, meet and eat in the same area. With dedicated meeting hubs throughout the Club, business meetings can be hosted with ease. Following the recent acquisition of Kauai and Nü, healthy food options in the Club are plentiful. It’s a beautifully well-maintained space where you’ll get a solid workout experience. Check it out.
1 star from a "classic" member who has been paying the premium for the last 9 years for the exclusivity of this "classic" gym. There is no room to train as a promotion is filling the gym so much that there is no room to train, no weights available or put back and people freely socializing on the machines and generally not abiding by gym rules. I've walked in and straight out twice this week out of frustration as nothing is available and no room within the gym. I've emailed twice to try find a remedy to the situation to which I have had zero response. This is not the exclusive classic service delivery I am currently paying for and I find it disgusting that all fellow classic paying members have been subject to this! One star because I can't give no stars!
Out of ALL the collection clubs, this is the WORST of them all. Yet it has the second best location of them all! A disgrace! I was even afraid to order my usual lunch after gym. - Unhygienic gym floor, walls, widows, equipment & change room. - It’s the only collection club where you need to bring your own locks; outdated lockers! - The only one with outdated machines! - It stinks, literally! - The ONLY ONE without backup power, which means that half the time the gym is out of service. - Inattentive concierge service (2/10). The management of this facility are running it to the ground. A shame for those members who’ve not experienced the other collection Clubs. They’ll be led to think this is the best offering ️
This virgin active does NOT deserve to be called a collection club. I’ve been to other collection clubs and this is the worst one. Everything about this club is old, from the locker rooms to the steam rooms (which are unisex). It’s an absolute waste of money, the La Lucia club (which is not a collection) is way better and much cheaper. This club is not maintained very well and requires a major upgrade. Otherwise they must not be called a collection, it’s a waste of money. There’s nothing luxurious or convenient about it!
The facilities were top-notch, with a wide variety of equipment and plenty of space to work out. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, always willing to answer any questions I had and offer advice on how to use the equipment. The classes were also fantastic, with a great variety of options to choose from and knowledgeable instructors who pushed me to work harder. Overall, I couldn't be happier with my experience and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great gym.
The worse collection gym by far in SA. So many things that are broken in the showers and change rooms. The black tiles on the walls in change rooms and showers is unhygienic. Also the walls in the gym are painted dark agrey which exhibit such a depressing atmosphere. Very poorly designed and is old. Members are so filthy, often find used towels all over the place, even just left on equipment. It is extremely busy with so many people especially in the gym area.
Every activity that takes place a the stadium inconveniences and impacts members , the facility is good but as a classic gym there should be no inconveniences as such. In my opinion it should be made a regular club ! +Club has no responsd to issues, seems to have no customer care. Update : 2023 Any medical emergency the club is closed with no reason Update March 2023 : There has been no improvement, nor has any official from the club contact me
This a premium gym facility located at Moses Mabhida Stadium which has state of the art facilities, bicycles, sauna, steam room, swimming pool and a Jacuzzi. One of the gym facilities of Virgin Active. Highly convenient. Has free parking. Ideally located within a walking distance to the beach. Surrounded by a host of convenient facilities such as restaurants and activities such as bungy jumping, bicycles for hire, stadium tours, etc.
Best gym in Durban. The stuff is friendly and welcoming. They know you by name within few days. They are always ready to assist when in need. No need to bring gym towel, you can get your your suit ironed and shoes polished. There is more if you don't feel like training. Nu Cafe is spacious for office work and has nutritious healthy meals. There are boardrooms if you wanna book them for meetings. There is still many more to mention.
I've been a member of this gym for the past 5+ years and it's been the best experience to date. I thoroughly enjoy going in for my daily swimming sessions in a 25m semi heated pool and sometimes indulge myself in the sauna/ steambath as well as the Jacuzzi. Facilities are pretty smart and well maintained and the new virign active app makes it a well incentivised experience to say the least...
If it’s not the aircon that isn’t working, it’s the jacuzzi/sauna area that is under maintenance. Several machines don’t work, the shower area is unhygienic. Ever since joining a year ago, there’s always an issue. Fees aren’t decreasing but facilities are terrible.
Class if you a regular gymer it's worth the extra bucks. Facilities are on point and it's a great atmosphere. Not over crowded, everything generally works (few hiccups here and there but no sweat) It's got everything but a squash court
My concern of harassment was never addressed despite my engaging with a club manager., especially as I would not like this happen to a fellow member. I cancelled my membership. For a so called classy classic club, poor.
My husband and I joined 2 days ago. We got fantastic service from Andile. He showed us around and explained everything to us with a lot of patience. The gym is spotless and not overcrowded.
Spa area shower doesn’t work, drainage is blocked for months on end. Timing clocks in the lap pool are never synchronised, apparently loadshedding is the cause and it can’t be repaired.
You have to bring your own locker, the nu restaurant is wack and the temperature at the gym is not regulated. Definitely bottom of the barrel compared to other VA Collections
Good gym. Clean and not too busy. Only one squat rack though - can be annoying if many people want to use it. Biggest issue is parking when there is an event at the stadium.
Good gym with lots of facilities. Classes book up fast. Strickter dresscode required for the pool. I love the cycles available to take onto the promenade
Very nice gym - I like the included bicycle option. The lockers need to change to electronic keypads instead of the old carry-your-own-lock style.
Equipment could be better and a better floor plan could be initiated considering it is the classic gym in KZN. Other then that no complaints.
This was my Happy Place a gym that redefines excellence. A place that gets your heart racing with perfect attention to detail
Great space and environment. But not so good in maintenance and equipment. Many of the basic equipment is still missing.
Fabulous gym But small Bit pricey Arround 2000 per month Definitely will join if there is affordability
Lerato, the administration lady, is an amazing asset to this club! She's highly efficient and helpful.
I love the pool. I believe the club has been revamped too, and new equipment added
Just love this gym, the fresh white towels, the friendly staff and the cleanliness
They hate guests, woman behind the counter aggressive.
Great stuff. Lovely atmosphere. Professional service.
This gym is nice and very great, super duper clean!
Beautiful gym, polite staff
